I have a very active and full personal life. I’m deeply passionate about sports. Growing up, I was part of a school basketball team, competed in track and field, and swam competitively. Currently, I enjoy tennis, yoga, pilates, swimming, and running. I enjoy content creation and photography, which allow me to express my creative passions. I love music (I listen to many genres of music from around the world including Indian classical, Brazilian and middle eastern), dance (I’ve trained in ballet), and reading (including War and Peace and Macbeth). But most of all I particularly love being with my three dogs.
Though I’ve been fortunate to travel widely and live in several countries,
I am most at home in Switzerland. Not only is it a sublimely beautiful place with a truly remarkable history but there are many things about its modern aspirations that resonate deeply with me.
I am also very proud of my Indian roots, and never miss an opportunity to travel to India, particularly to the beautiful Nilgiri mountains in southern India. My paternal grandfather established roots there and was a globally renowned tea-taster, while my maternal grandfather was a fighter pilot in the Indian air force. Both my grandmothers were strong, caring and independent women, and were important influences in shaping my values.
In part because of my family’s longstanding values, I feel strongly that my ultimate purpose is to contribute to the world in constructive ways, and I am especially passionate about caring and advocating for causes relating to children. Being part of Miss Universe Switzerland has given me a meaningful platform to align this purpose with action and impact. I fundraise for the Children’s Cancer Association in Geneva, and am also committed to advocating for greater mental health awareness for both children and adults.
In the immediate future, I hope to serve as a proud ambassador for Switzerland, representing its rich heritage as well as its admirable modern aspirations.
